Eddie Schwartz: Times Square heart [lyrics]

Eddie Schwartz

Times Square heart

Child of a child, cross-eyed pearl

She was anybody's girl

Caught between Broadway and the world

Give her a word

Johnny the Saint has not been kissed

Fires complaints and swings his fists

Forty-second - eighth evangelist

Times Square Heart

Now I don't care who you are

From how near or how far

This place will take you from the start

There must be a thousand just like you

Cruisin' that lonely avenue

In the blue neon midnight see them glow

Daddy's sweetheart, Queen of Spades

Bachelor of Arts underpaid

She'll be your master or be your slave

Did you want a slave?

Cadillac Jack sucks his thumbs

Smacks his lips and rubs his gun

He's got something for everyone

Times Square Heart

Here you'll find the good and the bad

Here you'll find the famous and the nameless

Here you'll find life without end

Now I don't know where you've been

And I don't know where you're going

But you ain't goin' for

Times Square Heart

Times Square Heart

Times Square Heart

Room enough for everyone

Times Square Heart

Room enough for everyone

Times Square Heart

Room enough for everyone

Times Square Heart

Room enough for everyone

Like the cop on the beat whose been dead on his feet

For a year or maybe more

Yes and Jack is the one who is rubbin' his gun

As he dreams 'bout the jewelry store

And the dancer whose talent is not in her feet

But she's better off here than walkin' in the street, yeah, yeah

Another Times Square Heart

Times Square Heart

Times Square Heart

Times Square Heart
